Try booting into Safe Mode and run System Restore. Roll back to the day
before "the other day" How to boot into Safe Mode? - by holding down or 'stabbing at' the Ctrl or the F8 keys during a 'power-up'. A further couple of methods are by using the Shift key as above, or when your machine is running in Normal Mode, run msconfig.exe and on the General tab, select Advanced and check the 'Enable Startup Menu' box. (Not forgetting to disable it again when you've finished) BTW - Booting into Safe Mode and letting it continue until the "Help Console" eventually appears and settles, will give you a direct link to System Restore (half-way down the page).
